(etc. etc.) June 2001 3 IACCP Message from the President DEBORAH BEST omorrow begins the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States, a feast day and a time to reflect upon Tthe fortunes of the past year. The first Thanksgiving was a celebration of two cultures, Native Americans who had lived in North America for many years and the new settlers who had recently arrived from Europe, coming together to learn from and share with each other, to enjoy one another’s company, and to give thanks for their many blessings. Today when I arrived at work, I was greeted by e-mail mes- sages from several of my IACCP colleagues, some of whom are members of the Executive Committee. These messages reminded me of one reason to be thankful this season. I am thankful that my participation in IACCP has provided me with the opportunity to get to know and to work with so many friends and colleagues around the world. Each of you has enriched my professional and personal life and has deepened my commitment to you and to the well-being of our organization. IACCP is in the throes of a very difficult decision about the location for the XVI Inter- national Congress of IACCP of 2002. Planning for this Congress has been underway since the proposal by our Indonesian colleagues to host the meeting was approved by the IACCP Executive Council in Pultusk, Poland, in July, 2000. At the time the proposal was approved, some members of the Executive Council were concerned about the national political unrest within Indonesia. However, when the Indonesian political leadership changed peacefully a few months later, we collectively breathed a sigh of relief and moved ahead with planning. None of us anticipated the horrific events of September 11, 2001, and the resulting war on terrorism. Within the next few weeks the Executive Council must make a final decision about the location of the 2002 IACCP Congress. IACCP members have expressed concerns about the safety of our individual members attending the Congress, about the acces- sibility of the meeting by members from countries without diplomatic relationships with Indonesia, and about the potential financial impact of a poorly-attended meet- ing. As an organization committed to inclusiveness, we must make a decision that takes into account each and every one of our members as well as the “health” of our organization. 4 Cross-Cultural Psychology Bulletin I have asked Bill Gabrenya to conduct a “straw poll” to give us some indication of your plans for attending the Congress. Please respond to his request for information when you receive it. Your response will help guide the decision of the Executive Council. No matter how we proceed, I am sure we will not please all members. However, we do hope you will understand the seriousness with which we face this decision and will support the members of the Executive Council no matter what decision we make. None of us has a crystal ball, so we cannot know the future. We, the members of the Executive Council, will simply do the best we can to make a reasonable decision for all of us. The first American Thanksgiving celebrated the coming together of two cultural groups. This Thanksgiving season may we all join together in friendship and appreciation of our IACCP colleagues around the world. JOSE MIGUEL SALIZAR Dear colleagues: Unfortunately and sorrowfully, I must give you the sad news that Jose Miguel Salazar, the prominent Venezuelan social psychologist, passed away on Wednesday September 26, during heart surgery. He was 69 years old. His funeral and cremation took place in Caracas. Jose Miguel was well known throughout the Americas and the world for his excellent scholar- ship, his service to many psychological associations--including 15 years as an officer of the Interamerican Society of Psychology, and his work as editor of the Interamerican Journal of Psychology. Jose Miguel was a warm and delightful person. He had recently retired, and he continued to be vital and full of life and projects. We will greatly miss him.

Abstract: Since the original call by Seligman and Csikszentmihalyi (2000) for a new science of happiness, excellence, and optimal human functioning, there has been considerable momentum in the research in positive psychology. A systematic review of the literature explicitly linked to the positive psychology movement assessed the extent of authorship, empirical and theoretical publications, and engagement of local samples in the indigenous research emerging from the Middle Eastern and North African region.

  • 56. 'Other' Anthropologies
    56. ‘Other’ anthropologies Convenors: Aleksandar Boskovic, Rhodes University [email protected] Thomas Hylland Eriksen, University of Oslo [email protected] Discussant: Mariza G. S. Peirano, University of Brasília [email protected] The main purpose of this workshop is to explore one of the main themes of the conference, namely, the metaphors of ethnographic practice. They are going to be explored in specific contexts of various national/regional anthropological traditions – both in Europe and in a wider context (Americas, Africa, Asia), but excluding the ‘great’ traditions (Anglo-American, French and German). The questions to be discussed include: how have these metaphors changed in a changing world? What do traditions such as (for example) Scandinavian, Polish, Yugoslav, Kenyan and Argentinian have in common, and how do they differ? How have discourses of post- colonialism, post-Marxism and post-structuralism influenced these traditions and what relation did they have with the more dominant (‘central’) anthropological traditions? Finally, what is the future of anthropology in these countries, sometimes referred to as ‘peripheral’? The idea of anthropology that we wish to explore with other participants in this workshop is an idea of a horizontally-structured discipline (or a conglomerate of scholarly disciplines), coping with the challenges of multiculturalism, globalization and transnationalism. These challenges bring closer different anthropological traditions, but they also invoke the necessity for dialogue and co-operation. We believe that bringing together scholars from different traditions and different backgrounds can provide a fruitful basis for discussion, as well as for comparisons of the changing metaphors of ethnographic practice, both within the discipline of anthropology, and within the broader field of social sciences and humanities in general.
